Was it out West? Do you remember where?

They're all over the Pacific Northwest... most ski areas have lifts exactly like that, and they were often built in the 60s (and still around).

A lot of new fixed-grip lifts don't have the deployable safety bars. On lifts with safety bars, I'd say they only get used about 1/100 times, and that's mainly for the foot rest.

Well at least that ski lift isn't trying to actively kill people:



Holy crap! That's way worse than anything I saw. That first triple around at the start *cringe* Someone's breathing through an ear after that. That guy telling everyone to jump out probably saved some people from wheelchair land, kudos Ivan.

Holy shit. I kinda give kudos to those cops for not just shooting the guy, but damn that's an instance where it seems they should've had their guns out on him. He nailed a woman cop (she got up quickly but could tell she was probably out of it after that, hopefully he didn't get to her towards the end) and then the one running up trying to club his knee and instead trips and falls right at his feet probably took a good hit too. They need like a net or rope and get him wrapped up in it. Or they should've gang tackled (have a guy get his back while another literally does form tackling shoulder to his abdomen and then everyone else grab arm and legs) him instead of flailing at him where even with their batons looked like he could reach them with his haymakers.
